Richard Levitte 1e55cbc874 DOCS: Move implementation specific docs away from provider-digest(7)
The provider- manuals are meant to describe the general interface for
their respective operation.  This is not the place to describe
implementation specific details.

This change creates a number of doc/man7/EVP_MD manuals, one for each
algorithm or set of algorithms, as well as doc/man7/EVP_MD-common.pod
to describe what's common to them all.

While we're at it, correct the SHA3 settable context params array to
match what's actually settable.

=item SHA2-256
Known names are "SHA2-256", "SHA-256" and "SHA256".
=item SHA2-384
Known names are "SHA2-384", "SHA-384" and "SHA384".
=item SHA2-512
